'Shake It Up' With Staples For Students and Bella Thorne!

With summertime just around the corner, the last thing you're probably thinking about is buying school supplies. But Shake It Up!starBella Thorne's already teamed up with Staples and DoSomething.org to encourage teens to donate school supplies to other kids for next year. Got a notebook you never used or found an extra package of pencils while cleaning out your locker? Drop them off at Staples stores from July 1 through September 15 and feel the good karma being spread! This year's Staples for Students national campaign offers easy new ways to get involved - for instance, you can raise a virtual hand by uploading pictures or videos through social media networks, and for every "hand" raised, Staples will donate $1 to the cause! You can learn more about organizing your own school supply drive by texting SUPPLIES to 38383 and watching Bella's PSA here.
